Chapter 952 Flexible Bottom Line and Immortal Destiny

...

Chen Xi laughed on the spot when he saw Liu Tong like this.

"Forget it, I've asked Mr. Xuande in advance. I'd better leave this thing to you. Remember to keep it well and don't lose it again..." Chen Xi recalled the previous exchange with Liu Bei and said with emotion.

"Can the emperor really do this?" Liu Tong asked in surprise.

"So Xuande Gong is Xuande Gong, Yuan Gongdao is Yuan Gongdao. Today's princes all have their own persistence and bottom line, except of course Cao Mengde..." Chen Xi sighed with emotion, and then said seriously, "Cao Mengde's The bottom line is relatively flexible..."

"Just accept it. What's the big deal? As long as I don't touch it, can it still affect me?" Liu Tong smiled casually.

Could a mere national jade seal change her mind about fishing?

Liu Tong casually handed the wrapped imperial seal to Lu Yu who was standing aside.

Lu Yu looked at Chen Xi and Liu Tong in surprise, then looked down at the imperial seal in his hand and fell into silence.

Is this jade seal, which symbolizes the highest power of the Han Empire, so unpopular?Don’t you even have the thought to observe carefully?
At this moment, Lu Yu felt that he had a deeper understanding of what his father had done.

Under the influence of the idea of ​​imperial power, the aloof Emperor Han seemed not as noble as imagined...

"By the way, speaking of flexible bottom lines, I remembered something!" Liu Tong turned to look at Chen Xi and said calmly, "Cao Mengde has entered Chang'an."

Chen Xi nodded in confusion, "I know about this matter. Although your Neiqi Dumpling harvests information very quickly, we can also calculate the approximate time and results by relying on calculations, but it may not necessarily be possible." Your inner energy dumpling looks so real."

"So, what do you think Cao Mengde will do when facing Yanzhou?" Liu Tong said softly, "He has a flexible bottom line, and after leading the army into Chang'an, there are not only natural passes such as Tongguan and Hulao Pass, but also Regarding the fertile land in China, in this case, do you think he will stick to Yanzhou?"

"According to our calculations, it is unlikely that Cao Mengde will continue to stay in Yanzhou. There is a high probability that he will move west with some people to further replenish the population of Guanzhong and Luoyang and increase the manpower to reclaim the land..." Chen Xi slowly said what they wanted to do. Cao Cao's analysis.

"Then what are you going to do next?" Liu Tong looked at Chen Xi like this and said with some kindness, "Judging from Cao Mengde's flexible bottom line, I'm afraid it's not just about relocating a small number of people..."

"This problem is not a big problem. Anyway, Xuzhou has settled down and Jizhou is relatively stable. Don't rush to capture Bingzhou and Youzhou. After the autumn harvest, we will attack Yanzhou first to intercept Cao Mengde's subsequent plans and further widen the gap between the two sides..." Chen Xi After thinking for a moment, he said quite calmly.

Although Yanzhou is a place of four battles, the terrain is relatively good and can not only accommodate large armies for field battles, but also large-scale cavalry for battles.

In this case, Cao Cao, who had a relatively thin army, was at a disadvantage.

Whether it is cavalry or infantry, there is a clear gap between the two sides, which means that if a large-scale field battle does occur, Cao Cao will be under greater pressure than their side. "Autumn harvest?" Liu Tong said with some surprise, "Wait until after the harvest? Then Cao Mengde can also harvest food?"

"After the grain is harvested, it takes time to collect it as tax, and this period of time is enough for us to attack and intercept it." Chen Xi shook his head and said with some caution, "Yanzhou under Cao Cao's rule The common people bear much heavier taxes than us, and are relatively poorer. In this case, if we attack too early and destroy the land in Yanzhou, it will only affect the people's subsequent survival... "

If it was just because of this, then it wouldn't be a big problem. We could just provide relief to the people and return to work-for-relief.

Then there is another factor. Yanzhou, which has the power of four battles, may not be able to stop other princes from causing trouble even after receiving help.

Judging from Cao Cao's bottom line, I'm afraid he really doesn't mind destroying other people's rear areas, or harming the future of ordinary people.

"Is that so?" Liu Tong nodded thoughtfully, and then said with some thought, "What if Cao Cao collects taxes in advance?"

After Chen Xi heard this, he was silent for a while, then looked at Liu Tong in surprise, and said seriously, "Is it possible?"

There is no relevant information from the Government Affairs Department, but after thinking about these things, it seems that they may not be important to some people.

After all, it is a reasonable and common situation for the government to collect taxes and so on.

"I just think that based on Cao Mengde's bottom line, this kind of thing shouldn't be a big problem." Liu Tong recalled Cao Cao in his memory and said seriously, "I guess the people under Cao Mengde will probably use some pretty normal methods." Reasons, such as: Anyway, now you can see the grain in the fields, it is normal to collect taxes in advance. After all, it is easy to calculate, I believe the people can understand, etc., and even go a little overboard, not only collecting this year's grain, but also collecting taxes Next year’s…”

Chen Xi thought of the possibility of such a saucy operation, and finally nodded, then looked at the surrounding layout and said softly, "Tongtong, I leave this place to you. I have something to do at the moment, so I will leave first."

Liu Tong looked at Chen Xi with confusion, and finally could only nod.

Chen Xi didn't waste any time, turned around and left with the people.

Fan Jian looked at the direction Chen Xi was walking, stopped silently, looked sideways at Liu Tong, and said with emotion, "Tong Tong's words gave my husband a little more work..."

"What?" Liu Tong looked puzzled. What does Chen Xi's behavior have to do with him?
"Tongtong is indeed the same smart Tongtong, so smart that it's unimaginable..." Fan Jian smiled softly and said with emotion, "I don't know how many people have been able to be like Tongtong for four hundred years. When the Han Dynasty flourishes, the phoenix and the phoenix have rituals, the court is like a flaming phoenix, and the majesty is like jade."

Liu Tong was stunned on the spot, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Things passed down by the Fan family, even if you don't want to learn them, you can still see some things. Tongtong, maybe it really is destiny. Under the fate of the country for hundreds of years, the destiny is immortal..." Fan Jian put down the jade slip in his hand. , said very seriously.

"Hahaha, Mrs. Fan really likes to joke. How can this be true?" Liu Tong waved his hand gently and smiled seemingly casually. As for what he was thinking in his heart, only he knew.
